  It Is Our Job to Fight for All of Them, Not Only Some of Them

  Hi, Stephanie,

  
  

  As always, your words are articulate and cogent. I am not sure that it’s clear, however, but this particular protest/vigil was not about veal. We (me and my fellow activists in the Bay Area) have known for some time that Rancho Veal is no longer in the veal business. Yet this slaughterhouse kills other animals, and is indeed the last remaining plant in the Bay Area that slaughters farmed animals for “beef” – most cows are now transported long distances within the state. Rancho Veal was merely chosen to represent animal exploitation in general, and the vigil was meant as a memorial for ALL animals and a plea for compassion.

  
  

  Thanks for all your hard work,

  
  

  Mark
